    PixieDust release notes 1.0.9
   </h1>
   <p>
    Here's what's new in Release 1.0.9 (4 August 2017):
   </p>
   <p>
    <strong>
     Bug fixes
    </strong>
   </p>
   <ul>
    <li>
     <p>
      Fixed an error triggered by running a display command on a DataFrame shared from a Scala notebook. PixieDust's
      <a href="scalabridge.html">
       scala magic
      </a>
      feature allows users to share variables between Python and Scala Notebooks. Now, such shared Scala DataFrames are correctly displayed from within a Python context (
      <a href="https://github.com/ibm-watson-data-lab/pixiedust/issues/425">
       #425
      </a>
      ).
     </p>
    </li>
    <li>
     <p>
      PixieApp chart options are now accepted as JSON. Instead of adapting parameters into HTML-style tag attributes, PixieApp developers can now simply paste valid JSON as the element content of the
      <code>
       &lt;pd_options&gt;
      </code>
      tag (
      <a href="https://github.com/ibm-watson-data-lab/pixiedust/issues/423">
       #423
      </a>
      ).
     </p>
    </li>
    <li>
     <p>
      Calls to
      <code>
       pixiedust.enableJobMonitor()
      </code>
      now work properly on Spark 2.1 (
      <a href="https://github.com/ibm-watson-data-lab/pixiedust/issues/223">
       #223
      </a>
      ).
     </p>
    </li>
    <li>
     <p>
      Fixed an issue where, within a PixieApp, the
      <code>
       showColumn
      </code>
      attribute would actually hide the column (
      <a href="https://github.com/ibm-watson-data-lab/pixiedust/issues/383">
       #383
      </a>
      ).
     </p>
    </li>
    <li>
     <p>
      PixieDust display calls to the map render for Google now work correctly when using Python 3.x (
      <a href="https://github.com/ibm-watson-data-lab/pixiedust/issues/417">
       #417
      </a>
      ).
     </p>
    </li>
   </ul>
   <p>
    <strong>
     Enhancements
    </strong>
   </p>
   <ul>
    <li>
     <p>
      The local installer experience has been improved. The
      <code>
       jupyter pixiedust install
      </code>
      command now allows users to more easily install and switch between different versions of the Spark kernel (
      <a href="https://github.com/ibm-watson-data-lab/pixiedust/issues/348">
       #348
      </a>
      ).
     </p>
    </li>
   </ul>
